Mr.. Dougherty declared, with the inn

been violated.
Mr.. Dougherty is good citizen as well
as an able pleader and a gentlenanly OPP
ponent. We ask him frankly what he
would have had the World do in a case
like that of the Broadway bribery: IL
would be pleasanter, in the sense Of
comfort and avoiding the making of en-
emies. to say nothing about the obvious
sale of this valuable franchise. But
would the World have been true To its
duty had it kept silence: Does Mr..
Dougherty need TO be reminded that the
corruption of public servants. confessed
and proved in these cases. was not con-
fined to the Broadway charter. Squire.

confirmed by these Aldermen through a
corrupt bargain as to the contracts and
patronage of his department. On every
side the offices were being worked for
all they are worth by venal and incom-
potent incumbents. Does Mr.. Dough

of an honest press to keep silent about

be called to sit upon a jury for the trial
of the thieves should get prejudiced:

 The plain truth is, we have set of thieves among us, banded together and working on the plan that Dave explains to Steve. There is no hospitality in the business at all. The thieves, that are playing the friend racket, are harborers and partners of thieves, and are in the hospitality business for the money there is in it-they ain't furnishing grub for love.
 There is not good man in Apache county, unwilling to entertain 8 travel ing stranger-to the contrary, they are glad to see them, and to treat them we'll i; but this business of entertaining travel ing thieves, when they are known to be such, ought to be stopped, the sooner the better.

EDITOR HERALD-I wish to place few plain, palpable facts before our stock men, for their serious and careful con- sideration. Under the guise of hospi- tality, food, shelter and rest are sup piled to desperadoes, gamblers and thieves. This hospitality racket is get ting to be we'll understood. This it what it amounts to-A B and c are three Knights of the Road-in other and plain CT words-thieves. D and E are just the same kind, but having either been run out of some other country, or hav- ing come to Apache county because stealing is easier here than elsewhere. D and E settle among us, either running outfits of their own outfit, or working for others. Until they are found out to be bad men, they pass for good fellows,
 It would open the eyes of some of our tender-hearted, bond-giving people, to read the correspondence that passes be- tween 4, B, |, D and E. Here is a specimen letter.
 DeIe fIend SteVe-bob and hey set tied down heie, anu a. e fixed for bisness. We think you fellers kin do Well dow here. Lots of horses, cattei and sukkers in this country.

 Of course A, B and c come along in due time. Horses and cattle are stolen according to the programme laid out by D and E. If ever it is found out that A, B and c were the thieves, and D and E are asked about it, the reply will be, "Them G-d d-n s-s of b-s, that beats hell. We always believed lem to be straight men.
